My birthday was on February 1st, but the family marked it yesterday. When I was growing-up in England, my birthday always seemed to coincide with the bleakest day of the year! Yesterday we sweltered, as I think becomes obvious when one views the red faces in the following shots! The temperature climbed to well over the 'old' 100 degreees, and the chosen restaurant (it had a children's playroom attached) only had fans! Even so, we had an enjoyable time.

We had to eat it quickly before the chocolate melted!

Here are the adults; the children were in the playroom. Brian is saying 'Oh God! Not another photograph!'

﻿

Here is the 'group' photo, with the two little boys being uncooperative in the way of all small boys! The young girl is Laura, Blake's friend.

And here are 'my' three boys .

Blake, who's turning into a charming young man before our very eyes.

Harry with the smouldering good looks.

And Max, who was born with this expression on his face!

I positively glowed, partly with family pride and partly with the heat.
